Backstreet Boys: Into the Millennium - Homecoming: Live in Germany

On 26 September 2026 the Backstreet Boys show Into The Millennium – Homecoming: Live in Germany comes to the Merkur Spiel-Arena in Düsseldorf. AJ McLean, Howie Dorough, Nick Carter, Kevin Richardson and Brian Littrell will revisit the period when the five-piece sharpened their sound and choreography in the late 1990s. The vocal group, founded in Orlando in 1993, is known for pop and dance-pop with R&B influences, multi-part hooks and ballad-like moments—shaped by their collaborations with the Swedish pop school in the studio.

With the albums Backstreet’s Back (1997), Millennium (1999) and Black & Blue (2000), harmonies and choruses became their trademark; later the band showed a more mature pop palette on In a World Like This (2013) and DNA (2019). Europe was an early key territory for the group’s rise—this homecoming in Germany picks up on that and places the Millennium era at the center, without losing sight of the rest of their catalogue. On stage, choreographed energy and vocal harmonies meet a production designed for large arenas.
